Hi, are there any affordable vegan white chocolate chips that actually taste like white chocolate? I tried the enjoy life chips, and they just taste sweet. Pascha has mixed reviews, and I was only able to find king david in $25 packs of 4. I don’t plan on using that many chips. Are those really the only options out there?
I found 2 posts about this and it's not clear. Most people say you can't do any gig work at all, but some people say you can if you make under a certain amount you'll still qualify, or you'll just get reduced benefits. If it's the latter, how much will it be reduced by?
I know there are already a lot of posts like this, but this feels a little different. I was already going to be laid off soon on good terms, and I was stupid and sent study notes (i.e notes on programming languages/certificates I got) from my work laptop to my personal email address so that I wouldn't lose them after I leave, and it was flagged as a security violation. I graduated college 2 years ago and have been at this job since I graduated. This is my first full time job, and it directly relates to my degree. Do I include it on my resume? What if a future prospective employer asks why I left or if they can contact them? Should I avoid using anyone from this job as a reference?
Has anyone else used the Hamilton Beach TrueAir air deodorizer before? It comes with a green scent pod and I can't get enough of the smell. It's strangely nostalgic for me. I know nothing about fragrances, but it smells like what I imagine its color would smell like. The word "water lily" comes to mind, though I don't know if it even smells like one so take that with a grain of salt. Unfortunately they only last a few days and they cost $8 a pod after shipping, does anyone know of a home fragrance product that smells similar to it?
I know this is an oddly specific request, but has anyone else used the Hamilton Beach TrueAir air deodorizer before? It comes with a scent pod (pictured below) and I love the smell, it's strangely nostalgic to me. The pods only last a few days though. Does anyone know of a candle that smells like it?
I'm not an angry person in real life, just miserable. I know that a lot of my anger is related to that misery. But when I see someone being ignorant or an asshole online, I can't think rationally. It's seriously embarrassing some of the things I've said/done online. I've angrily replied to months old comments and sent nasty DMs to people over things that really don't matter. Sometimes it's not even over anything involving me, I'll just see someone being unnecessarily rude or condescending, and I get an urge to shoot them a nasty response. I justify it by telling myself if someone decides to be a an asshole for no reason, they deserve the same treatment. I know that's a toxic and pointless mindset, and I know that engaging will just make me feel shitty later on, but in the moment I feel heavily vindicated in "punishing" them.
I feel ashamed for some of the things I've said to people online. I want to be kind to others, and I hate remembering how toxic I can get. How do I stop?
When I listen to this song, I imagine myself on a cool sunny day, sitting under a tree in an endless green field of rolling hills, contemplating life. What are some other ambient songs that capture that feeling?
I like the entire track, but I especially like the first 15 seconds because it feels atmospheric and a little sad. The chorus sound that kicks in from there makes it sound hopeful which I'm not feeling right now.
Are there any other tracks that capture that feeling? Maybe with a similar drone-like sound and a crescendo?
I heard that it's better to give homeless people care packages with necessities like socks, hand warmers, toothpaste/toothbrushes, power banks, etc. instead of cash. Is that true? I worry that it'd just piss some of them off because I'm not giving them what they're asking for.
Also, is it weird to give to a homeless person unprompted?
I’m pretty sure it was on an educational website for kids about music. The game wasn’t meant to be creepy, but there were a few parts that creeped out my 10 year old brain. Some more details:
I can’t remember anything else. I’m hoping a playable copy of it exists somewhere.
Platform(s): Flash/browser
Genre: Edutainment
Estimated year of release: late 2000s
Graphics/art style: colorful, isometric
Notable characters: a ghost in a cellar, various famous musicians/composers
Notable gameplay mechanics: you used an elevator to go to different floors. I vaguely remember a mini game where you had to put notes in the right place on sheet music
Other details: I can’t remember any
I assumed until now that a vegan diet just involved avoiding meat, fish/seafood, dairy, eggs, and honey, but I guess I was wrong? Because I’ve learned that there are a lot of common ingredients that may be derived from animal sources.
Edit: don’t know why the titled is formatted weird, didn’t mean to write potentially in all caps
Sorry if this has been answered already, but I couldn’t find an explicit answer online. I’m using the DDG iOS app. If I disable duck.ai and search assist in the settings, and do a search, is it still performing the same AI stuff in the background and just not displaying it, or is it actually AI free?
I listened to Melanie for the first today and I was a little uneasy at how resentful the lyrics are, especially since one line says “she used to date someone in the band”. Do we know who Melanie is based on? And are we supposed to identify with the speaker? Because to me they sound just as bad, if not worse than Melanie. I’m curious what other people think.
To me the song is meant to highlight how irrational and lacking in self awareness the speaker is. They mention how they still talk with her, and ask how she got to them as if they didn’t choose to stick with her. They keep mentioning how beautiful she is while also describing how she should be tortured and treated like an object.
